Comment 1 Alexandros Toptsoglou 2019-09-04 13:07:55 UTC 
The fix is available at [1] (version 2.6.1). The fix seems applicable to the currently supported and older versions of freetype2. Based on this the following codestreams are tracked as affected: 

SUSE:SLE-10-SP3:Update 
SUSE:SLE-11:Update 
SUSE:SLE-12:Update 

Instructions for reproducing the issue can be found at [2]. 

My attempt to reproduce the issue in SLE11 was not successful.
